Description

Glass diaphragm module

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a glass diaphragm module.

[0002] International Publication No. 2023 / 085380 discloses a glass vibration plate in which a mount member is attached within a view area of ​​a first main surface of a window glass plate for a vehicle, and a vibrator is attached to this mount member.

[0003] In the structure of WO 2023 / 085380, by attaching the vibrator to the first main surface of the glass plate, the vibrator obstructs the line of sight when looking outside through the glass plate, making it difficult to ensure a wide viewing area. Furthermore, if the vibrator is attached as close to the edge of the glass plate as possible in order to widen the viewing area as much as possible, vibrations are transmitted from the vibrator to the edge of the glass plate, making it difficult to effectively vibrate the entire glass plate.

[0004] An object of the present disclosure is to obtain a glass vibration plate module that can effectively vibrate the entire glass plate while ensuring a viewing area.

[0005] The glass vibration plate module according to the present disclosure comprises a glass plate constituting a window glass, a mounting member including a fixing portion attached to the glass plate and fixed to the glass plate, an erecting portion erected from the fixing portion in an out-of-plane direction of the glass plate, and an extending portion extending from the erecting portion so as to protrude toward the outer periphery of the glass plate, to which a vibration component is attached.

[0006] The glass vibration plate module according to the present disclosure can effectively vibrate the entire glass plate while ensuring a viewing area.

[0008] A preferred embodiment of the glass diaphragm module according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. While the application of the glass diaphragm module to a vehicle window glass will be described below, the glass diaphragm module according to the present disclosure may also be applied to other moving objects, such as airplanes, helicopters, ships, and trains, in addition to vehicles. The glass diaphragm module according to the present disclosure may also be applied to window glass in buildings and other structures.

[0009] A glass diaphragm module 10 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a glass diaphragm module 10 as viewed from the main surface side. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the glass diaphragm module 10 is applied to the rear window (back window) of a vehicle. The glass diaphragm module 10 includes a rear window 12 as a glass plate constituting the window glass, and a mount member 14 attached to the rear window 12. A vibrating component 16 is attached to the mount member 14. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the up-down direction of the rear window 12 will be referred to as "up-down" and the left-right direction (width direction) will be referred to as "left-right."

[0011] The rear windshield 12 constitutes the vehicle's window glass and is fixed to the vehicle body in a state where it cannot be raised or lowered. The rear windshield 12 is often a single-pane glass, but it may also be a laminated glass made of two glass plates bonded together with a resin interlayer. The rear windshield 12 is made of transparent or translucent inorganic glass. Examples of inorganic glass that can be used include soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, and quartz glass.

[0012] When the rear glass 12 is made of inorganic glass and is a single-pane glass, it is preferable that the rear glass 12 be tempered glass. Tempered glass has a compressive stress layer formed on its surface, and may be either air-cooled tempered glass or chemically tempered glass. When the tempered glass is physically tempered glass (e.g., air-cooled tempered glass), the compressive stress layer may be formed on the glass surface by a temperature difference between the glass surface and the interior of the glass, using an operation other than slow cooling, such as rapidly cooling a uniformly heated glass sheet from a temperature near its softening point during bending. When the tempered glass is chemically tempered glass, the compressive stress layer may be formed on the glass surface by an ion exchange method or the like after bending.

[0013] If the rear glass 12 is a laminated glass consisting of two glass plates bonded together with a resin intermediate layer, both glass plates may be untempered, only one may be tempered, or both may be tempered. If both glass plates are tempered, both may be air-cooled tempered glass, both may be chemically tempered glass, or one may be cold-tempered glass and the other may be chemically tempered glass.

[0014] The rear glass 12 may be made of organic glass, such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) resin, PC (polycarbonate) resin, PS (polystyrene) resin, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin, or cellulose resin.

[0015] When the rear window 12 is a single-plate glass, the thickness of the rear window 12 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 mm or more, and even more preferably 1.5 mm or more. This improves the rigidity and strength of the rear window 12, making it easier for piston vibration to occur. Furthermore, when the rear window 12 is a single-plate glass, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the glass diaphragm module 10, the thickness of the rear window 12 is preferably 10.0 mm or less, more preferably 7.0 mm or less, and even more preferably 5.0 mm or less.

[0016] When the rear glass 12 is formed of laminated glass in which two glass plates are bonded together with a resin intermediate layer, the thickness of each of the pair of glass plates constituting the rear glass 12 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 mm or more, and even more preferably 1.5 mm or more. The pair of glass plates constituting the rear glass 12 may have the same or different thicknesses, but the same thickness is preferable from the viewpoint of stabilizing sound pressure. Furthermore, the total thickness of the rear glass 12 is preferably 1.0 mm or more, more preferably 2.0 mm or more, and even more preferably 3.0 mm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the glass diaphragm module 10, the total thickness is preferably 10.0 mm or less, more preferably 8.0 mm or less, and even more preferably 6.0 mm or less.

[0017] When the rear glass 12 is laminated glass, the intermediate layer may be, for example, a transparent polyvinyl butyral (PVB)-based or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)-based resin film, or a resin film containing a thermosetting adhesive material such as a silicone (PDMS)-based, polyurethane-based, fluorine-based, polyethylene terephthalate-based, or polycarbonate-based material. The intermediate layer may also contain a material that enhances sound insulation, a material that enhances rigidity, or a material that absorbs ultraviolet or infrared rays. The intermediate layer may also be a liquid or gel-like intermediate layer. Specific examples of liquid intermediate layers include water, oil, organic solvents, liquid polymers, ionic liquids, and mixtures thereof. More specifically, examples of the gel-like intermediate layer include propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, straight silicone oil (dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, methylhydrogen silicone oil), modified silicone oil, acrylic acid-based polymer, liquid polybutadiene, glycerin paste, fluorine-based solvent, fluorine-based resin, acetone, ethanol, xylene, toluene, water, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof. Among these, it is preferable to contain at least one selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, methylhydrogen silicone oil, and modified silicone oil, and it is more preferable to use propylene glycol or silicone oil as the main component. Specific examples of the gel-like intermediate layer include carbon-based, fluorine-based, and silicone-based polymer materials. Specific examples include ABS, AES, AS, CA, CN, CPE, EEA, EVA, EVOH, IO, PMMA, PMP, PP, PS, PVC, RB, TPA, TPE, TPEE, TPF, TPO, TPS, TPU, TPVC, AAS, ACS, PET, PPE, PA6, PA66, PBN, PBT, PC, POM, PPO, ETFE, FEP, LCP, PEEK, PEI, PES, PFA, PPS, PSV, PTFE, PVDF, silicone, polyurethane, PI, PF, PVB, TAC, polyolefin, acrylic, and copolymer resins thereof. Also included are composite materials combining the above materials. The above materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more.The intermediate layer may also contain a tackifier or plasticizer to provide adhesion. The thickness of the intermediate layer may be, for example, 0.1 μm to 3.0 mm, 1.0 μm to 2.8 mm, or 3.0 μm to 2.6 mm. When the rear glass 12 is laminated glass, a light-control film that electrically controls visible light transmittance may be sandwiched between the two glass plates. Examples of light-control films that can be used include polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films, suspended particle device (SPD) films, polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) films, guest-host liquid crystal films, electrochromic materials, and photochromic materials. Glass that displays images on part or all of the glass is also envisioned. A liquid crystal film may be sandwiched as a method for displaying images. In another embodiment, a projection screen film may be sandwiched between the glass plates. In addition, a film-like solar cell element may be provided in part or all of the glass to generate electricity from sunlight. To ensure visibility as a vehicle window glass, it is usually more preferable to use a transparent film with excellent transparency. These functions can be imparted not only by sandwiching the film between glass panes, but also by directly microfabricating, printing, transferring, or attaching the film to the glass surface, as long as the function as a glass speaker is not lost.

[0018] In this embodiment, the rear window 12 is formed in a generally trapezoidal shape with the longitudinal direction being the width direction of the vehicle, with the lower side longer than the upper side. The outer periphery of the rear window 12 is provided with a light-shielding layer 13 of a predetermined width, which is formed of a color ceramic layer in black, dark color, or white, or a color ink layer printed with organic ink or inorganic ink. The present disclosure may also be applied to a structure that does not include the light-shielding layer 13.

[0019] The rear glass 12 has a structure in which adhesives and the like cannot be seen from outside the vehicle by the light-shielding layer 13. The light-shielding layer 13 is provided continuously around the outer periphery of the rear glass 12, but may have at least a partial area without the light-shielding layer. The central area of ​​the rear glass 12 where the light-shielding layer 13 is not provided forms a view area VA through which the outside can be seen.

[0020] A defogger (not shown) for clearing fogging (anti-fogging) may be formed on the interior surface of the rear windshield 12. The defogger has a plurality of heater wires extending in the width direction of the rear windshield 12 and a pair of bus bars extending in the vertical direction near both side edges of the rear windshield 12, with several heater wires formed between the pair of bus bars. The defogger is formed by printing a silver paste containing silver powder and glass frit on the surface of the rear windshield 12 and firing it.

[0021] Furthermore, if the rear glass 12 is equipped with a conductive wire (e.g., a defogger, an antenna, etc.) formed by printing and baking a paste containing a conductive metal (e.g., silver paste, etc.) on the main surface on the inside of the vehicle, it is preferable that the mounting member 14 be attached so as not to overlap the conductive wire.

[0022] Furthermore, a coating film may be formed on the rear glass 12. Examples of the coating film include a low-E (low emissivity) film, an anti-glare (AG) film, an anti-reflection (AR) film, an anti-fingerprint (AF) film, a UV (ultraviolet) cut film, an anti-fogging film, an anti-fungal film, and a water-repellent film.

[0023] The rear window 12 may be colored glass baked in blue, red, green, gray, or the like, or it may be privacy glass. Privacy glass is glass with lower transparency than green glass and clear glass, and is also called dark gray glass. Privacy glass can be achieved by adjusting the total iron content, converted to Fe2O3, in the rear window 12. The visible light transmittance of the privacy glass can be adjusted to approximately 40 to 50% when the plate thickness is 1.8 mm, and approximately 30 to 45% when the plate thickness is 2.0 mm, for example.

[0024] Two mount members 14 are attached to the rear glass 12 shown in Fig. 1 along the outer periphery of the rear glass 12. The mount members 14 are attached to two locations, one at the right-hand and lower corner of the rear glass 12, and one at the left-hand and lower corner. Because the right-hand and left-hand mount members 14 have the same configuration, the left-hand mount member 14 will be described in detail below, and a description of the right-hand mount member 14 and the vibrating component 16 will be omitted. The mount members 14 may be attached to only one location, or to three or more locations.

[0025] 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer peripheral edge of the rear glass 12 is attached to an exterior panel 18. The exterior panel 18 is a panel that constitutes the vehicle's design surface and is made of resin, metal, or the like. The exterior panel 18 is formed with a flange 18A that is approximately crank-shaped in cross section, and the light-shielding layer 13 of the rear glass 12 is attached to this flange 18A via adhesive 20.

[0026] The adhesive 20 is provided continuously around the outer peripheral edge of the rear glass 12, and the mount member 14 is attached at a position offset toward the center of the rear glass 12 from the adhesive 20.

[0027] The mount member 14 may be formed from a metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, or at least a part of or the entire mount member 14 may be formed from a resin such as plastic. As the plastic, general engineering plastics such as ABS, PVC, PC, PP, PBT, PA66, and PPS may be used, or fiber-reinforced plastics including glass fiber and carbon fiber may be used.

[0028] Here, the mount member 14 of this embodiment is configured to include a fixed portion 14A, an upright portion 14B, and an extended portion 14C. The fixed portion 14A is formed in an elongated strip shape with its longitudinal direction aligned perpendicular to the thickness of the rear glass 12, and is fixed to the rear glass 12 via an adhesive layer (not shown). The adhesive layer may be made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive agent, as appropriate. For example, a sheet-shaped adhesive tape may be used as the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Furthermore, the adhesive may be made of, for example, an acrylic, silicone, urethane, epoxy, phenolic, or epoxysilicone material. Furthermore, adhesives that are thermosetting, moisture-curing, two-component curing, ultraviolet curing, visible light curing, anaerobic curing, or the like may be used.

[0029] The standing portion 14B stands upright from the lower part of the fixed portion 14A in a direction outward from the plane of the rear window 12. In this embodiment, the standing portion 14B stands upright from the fixed portion 14A toward the interior of the vehicle. The length of the standing portion 14B is dimensioned so that the height including the fixed portion 14A and the standing portion 14B is greater than the height from the main surface of the rear window 12 to the flange 18A of the exterior panel 18. The shape of the standing portion 14B may be cylindrical, prismatic, or hollow tubular.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixing portion 14A and the standing portion 14B may be formed integrally or separately. When the fixing portion 14A and the standing portion 14B are separate, the standing portion 14B is joined to the fixing portion 14A by fastening means such as a bolt, a nail, a clip, a rivet, or an adhesive.

[0031] The extension portion 14C extends from the standing portion 14B toward the outer periphery of the rear glass 12, and a vibrating component 16 is attached to the extension portion 14C. Like the fixing portion 14A, the extension portion 14C of this embodiment is formed in a long strip shape and extends below the rear glass 12. From the perspective of ensuring a wide viewing area VA, it is preferable that the extension portion 14C extend to the outer periphery of the boundary between the viewing area VA and the light-shielding layer 13 on the rear glass 12. It is more preferable that the extension portion 14C extend to the outside of the rear glass 12 when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the rear glass 12, and it is particularly preferable that the extension portion 14C extend to a position where it overlaps with the exterior panel 18.

[0032] The thinner the extension portion 14C, the lower the height can be, and the thickness is preferably 50 mm or less, more preferably 30 mm or less, even more preferably 20 mm or less, and particularly preferably 10 mm or less. The tip of the extension portion 14C may be formed in a substantially circular shape to correspond to the vibrating component 16.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting member 14 of this embodiment may be configured so that the extension portion 14C is separable from the fixed portion 14A. Specifically, the extension portion 14C and the standing portion 14B may be fastened together with bolts. Therefore, for example, the mounting member 14 may be assembled to the exterior panel 18 with the fixed portion 14A and the standing portion 14B of the mounting member 14 fastened to the rear window 12, and then the extension portion 14C may be fastened to the standing portion 14B with bolts in a subsequent process. In this case, the vibration component 16 does not get in the way when the rear window 12 is assembled to the vehicle. Furthermore, replacement and maintenance of the vibration component 16 can be easily performed. The method for attaching the extension portion 14C to the standing portion 14B is not limited to bolts. It may also be attached using fastening means such as nails, clips, or rivets, or via an adhesive layer such as an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0034] The vibration component 16 is attached to the surface of the extension portion 14C opposite to the rear glass 12 side. Note that the structure for attaching the vibration component 16 to the extension portion 14C is not particularly limited, and a mechanical fastening structure using bolts, nails, clips, rivets, or the like may be employed. Alternatively, a structure may be employed in which a slide groove is formed on one of the extension portion 14C or the vibration component 16, and a protrusion that engages with the slide groove is formed on the other, and the vibration component 16 is fastened by sliding. Furthermore, the vibration component 16 may be attached to the extension portion 14C via an adhesive interface using tape, adhesive, felt, foam, rubber, grease, gel, plastic, or the like.

[0035] The vibration component 16 is connected to a power source via a cable (not shown) and is an actuator that vibrates the rear glass 12 in response to an input electrical signal. In this embodiment, the vibration component 16 is, for example, a voice coil motor including a coil portion and a magnetic circuit. One of the coil portion and the magnetic circuit is fixed to the extension portion 14C, and the other is arranged to be movable relative to the extension portion 14C. When a current flows through the coil portion, the interaction between the coil portion and the magnetic circuit generates vibrations, which vibrate (excite) the rear glass 12 via the mount member 14. The vibration direction is the thickness direction of the vibration component 16. The vibration component 16 is not limited to a voice coil motor. An actuator other than a voice coil motor, such as a piezoelectric actuator, may be used as long as it is capable of transmitting the desired vibration to the rear glass 12.

[0036] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 , with a vibration transmission portion added. In FIG. 3 , a reference line extending through the center of the vibrating component 16 in the thickness direction of the rear window 12 is designated as reference line RL1. A reference line extending through the center of the fixed portion 14A in the thickness direction of the rear window 12 is designated as reference line RL2. When the vibrating component 16 is vibrated in this state to vibrate the rear window 12, the point of contact between the center of the vibrating component 16 and the extension portion 14C serves as the force point, and the point of contact between the center of the fixed portion 14A and the rear window 12 serves as the fulcrum. As a result, amplified vibration is input at a virtual point P, which is located at a position twice the distance between the reference line RL1 and the reference line RL2, with the center of the vibrating component 16 as the reference point. In other words, even if the vibrating component 16 is positioned outside the rear window 12, the center of the rear window 12 can be vibrated. In FIG. 3, the reference line RL1 passes through the edge of the rear window 12, but this is not limitative and the reference line RL1 may be set further outward on the rear window 12 than the reference line RL2.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the angle between the tangent plane of the rear glass 12 that contacts the fixed portion 14A and the vibration direction of the vibrating component 16 is approximately 90 degrees, so the vibration direction of the vibrating component 16 is the thickness direction of the rear glass 12, and it is possible to effectively vibrate the rear glass 12. Note that the angle between the tangent plane of the rear glass 12 that contacts the fixed portion 14A and the vibration direction of the vibrating component 16 is preferably 5 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less, and the closer to 90 degrees the angle is, the more preferable it is.

[0038] (First Modification) A glass diaphragm module 10 according to a first modification will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 10 according to the first modification. Note that in the first to twenty-first modifications described below, the same reference numerals are used for configurations that are the same as those in the embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0039] 4 , the mount member 14 includes a fixed portion 14A, an upright portion 14B, and an extension portion 14C, and the extension portion 14C extends from the upright portion 14B toward the outer periphery of the rear glass 12. In this modification, the extension portion 14C is located inside the glass edge of the rear glass 12. Therefore, the vibrating component 16 attached to the extension portion 14C is positioned so as to overlap the light-shielding layer 13 when viewed in the thickness direction of the rear glass 12.

[0040] (Second Modification) A glass diaphragm module 10 according to a second modification will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 10 according to the second modification.

[0041] 5, this modified example does not include a light-shielding layer 13. Even with this structure, extension portions 14C extend from the erected portions 14B toward the outer periphery of the glass plate, which prevents the vibrating components 16 from blocking the field of view and allows the entire glass plate to vibrate effectively while maintaining a sufficient viewing area.

[0042] (Third Modification) A glass diaphragm module 40 according to a third modification will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 40 according to the third modification. Note that in the first to nineteenth modifications described below, the same reference numerals are used for configurations that are the same as those in the embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 4, in this modified example, the extension portion 14C of the mount member 14 is inclined. Specifically, the extension portion 14C is inclined toward the exterior of the vehicle as it extends from the upright portion 14B downward toward the rear window 12. Even in this case, the rear window 12 can be vibrated by vibrating the vibrating component 16. In this case, the angle at which the extension portion 14C is inclined may be any angle such that the angle between the tangent plane of the rear window 12 and the vibration direction of the vibrating component 16 is 5 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less.

[0044] (Fourth Modification) A glass diaphragm module 50 according to a fourth modification will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 50 according to the second modification.

[0045] 7 , in this modification, the extension portion 14C of the mount member 14 is inclined. Specifically, the extension portion 14C is inclined toward the interior of the vehicle as it extends from the upright portion 14B downward on the rear window 12. Even in this case, the rear window 12 can be vibrated by vibrating the vibrating component 16. In this case, the angle at which the extension portion 14C is inclined may be any angle such that the angle between the tangent plane of the rear window 12 and the vibration direction of the vibrating component 16 is greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0046] (Fifth Modification) A glass diaphragm module 60 according to a fifth modification will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 60 according to the fifth modification.

[0047] 8, in this modification, the vibrating part 16 is covered with an interior material 62. Specifically, an interior material 62 such as a door garnish that forms a decorative surface of the interior of the vehicle is provided on the inside of the vehicle relative to the vibrating part 16, and this interior material 62 covers the vibrating part 16 and a part of the mount member 14 from the inside of the vehicle.

[0048] The interior material 62 is formed of, for example, resin, but is not limited to this and may be formed of metal. The entire mount member 14 may also be covered with the interior material 62. In this modification, by covering the vibrating component 16 with the interior material 62, the vibrating component 16 can be hidden from both the outside and the inside of the vehicle cabin. The interior material 62 also allows wiring and the like in the vibrating component 16 to be hidden.

[0049] (Sixth Modification) A glass diaphragm module 70 according to a sixth modification will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the glass diaphragm module 70 according to the sixth modification.

[0050] 9, in this modification, a mount member 72 is provided instead of the mount member 14. The mount member 72 includes a fixed portion 72A, an upright portion 72B, a first extending portion 72C, and a second extending portion 72D.

[0051] The fixing portion 72A is formed in a long strip shape with the longitudinal direction aligned with the light-shielding layer 13 of the rear glass 12, and is fixed to the rear glass 12 via an adhesive layer (not shown). The adhesive layer may be the same as that in the embodiment.

[0052] The standing portion 72B stands upright from the lower portion of the fixed portion 72A toward the outside of the plane of the rear window 12. In this embodiment, the standing portion 72B stands upright from the fixed portion 72A toward the inside of the vehicle compartment. The shape of the standing portion 72B is the same as that of the mount member 14 in the embodiment.

[0053] The first extending portion 72C is formed in a long strip shape like the fixed portion 72A, and extends from the standing portion 72B toward the outer periphery of the rear glass 12 to a position below the rear glass 12. The second extending portion 72D is attached to the first extending portion 72C, extends from the upper end of the first extending portion 72C in a direction outward from the surface of the rear glass 12, and further extends substantially parallel to the first extending portion 72C to a position below the rear glass 12. The vibrating component 16 is sandwiched between the first extending portion 72C and the second extending portion 72D.

[0054] In this modification, the vibration component 16 is sandwiched between the first extension portion 72C and the second extension portion 72D, thereby preventing the vibration component 16 from falling off. The first extension portion 72C and the second extension portion 72D may be formed integrally or separately. Furthermore, the first extension portion 72C and the second extension portion 72D may be formed of the same material or different materials.
